Chapter 69: The Gentle Prince and the Sick Princess (1)
"Hmm."
A woman's muffled snort suddenly sounded in the silent hall, Lan Qing covered her chest, the pain of the arrow was still a burning sensation here, although the wound did not exist, the long arrow still seemed to be inserted in the chest.
This sound suddenly attracted a lot of people's side eyes, the high-ranking ladies wore today's flowers, silk brocade, golden hairpins, all lined up to sit quietly, competing for beauty.
In the twelfth year of Taicheng, when the prince reached the age of weak, the queen was ordered by the emperor to select the crown princess for the crown prince, up to the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, down to the scholarly family, the daughter was unmarried, beautiful in appearance, elegant in talent, and those who knew the book and reason could go to the Zhenghe Hall to be selected by the queen and become the princess.
High in front of the hall, the beaded curtain swayed, sandalwood rose, behind the curtain two people leaned on the meditation, thin figure, dignified posture, the other sat on the side seat, with a straight back, tall figure, long hair belt, sitting upright, hands resting on knees, casually lightly pointed.
"Which girl is uncomfortable?" The tone of the woman who spoke out was as clear as a jade bead.
Lan Qing got up slowly, this body can indeed be regarded as a sick body, all the meridians are twisted, the blood is not smooth, and the heart is also a little problematic, the weak willow supports the wind, and she walked to the center of the hall with light steps, she squatted and bowed her head, "The courtier is not well, the palace is out of order, please punish the queen." ”
The queen chuckled, and there was a faint sigh in her laughter, "Is it Lan Qing, the daughter of Lan Shilang?" ”
There are many rumors in the capital, one of which is the body and bones of Lan Qing, the daughter of her Lan family, which is the sick and dead ghost hanging by the Lan family with thousands of precious medicinal materials, and the walking medicine jar, I don't know which high-ranking family can afford such a medicine beauty in the future, so she has reached the marriageable age, but few people come to the door to propose.
Of course, this is just a simple mention in the original book, after all, she is not the heroine, and her body can't withstand the turmoil that the heroine has endured.
"Hui Niangniang is."
After Lan Qing replied, the hand resting on the lap of the person on the side seat behind the curtain paused slightly, as if she raised her head and glanced at the woman squatting in the center of the hall through the tulle.
"This palace is not a person who reluctantly others, since you are tired, it is better to go back and rest early." The queen ordered the eunuch on one side to send Lan Qing back to the rest place in the palace.
Many nobles came with a projection of their eyes, mixed with a little ridicule and schadenfreude.
As soon as these words came out, Lan Qing basically had no chance with the crown princess, alas, why did a sick man come to this troubled water? I don't know how many people in the court are staring at the position of the crown princess.
In the palace hall, the eunuch sent her here and handed her over to the housekeeper's grandmother, who saw Lan Qing's pale face and greeted her respectfully.
As the sun rose, gradually, the nobles of the large army returned to this courtyard and waited for a while to be sent out of the palace together.
Lan Qing couldn't do anything else, she sat silently in her seat and took a sip of tea, the feeling of depression in her heart had not disappeared for a long time, not to mention that she was originally injured, so she should not do anything for the time being, so as not to die on the spot.
"Today, the queen mother praised you!" The yellow cedar girl on one side praised the woman in the pink skirt opposite.
The woman in the pink skirt was shy, and said coquettishly, "No, my sisters are also Hui Lanxin, I really don't stand up to elegance." ”
"How come, she is worthy of being the daughter of Zuo Xiang, she is knowledgeable and talented, and she is both talented and beautiful." The person on the other side also came over, "Maybe...... The queen mother's favorite is you. ”
In groups of threes and twos, they all congratulated the pink-shirted woman insincerely.
The woman in the pink skirt was coaxed and hurriedly waved her hand, and said humbly, "It is a great fortune that the queen mother likes me, and Her Royal Highness has not said anything on the side." ”
"That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't said a word."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mature and steady, I'm afraid it's not good to say anything on such an occasion."
"Yes, yes."
chattering, their topic led to the prince, the mysterious and intelligent prince who was talented since childhood, and entered the position of the East Palace with the palace changes.
At this moment, a loud voice interrupted the discussion of the nobles.
"May I ask who is here, who is Miss Lan, the daughter of Lan Shilang."
